I bolted mid-vows and became America’s favorite scandal. Now I’m fake married to my cranky bodyguard. At least he’s ridiculously hot.
Yesterday, I was the picture-perfect celebrity bride. Today, I’m the tabloid headline no one can stop talking about.
My powerful ex wants revenge, someone keeps leaking my location, and the cameras are waiting for my next disaster.
My PR team calls Reid Callahan—my brother’s best friend, childhood crush, and drop-dead gorgeous bodyguard.
The plan? Vanish to a tropical fake honeymoon and pretend we eloped to save my reputation.
This plan might break me faster than the media ever could…
Falling for his best friend’s little sister was never part of the plan…
Enrique is the baddest of the Bad Boys Club—at least, that’s the image he sells.
His reckless billionaire persona hides a lifetime of secrets and scars.
But a New Year’s pact forces him to face his greatest fear—and the emotions that come with it.
Leighann knows better than to fall for a man like Enrique.
He’s off-limits—and way out of her league.
But the man behind the swagger surprises her: kind, protective, and far more damaged than anyone realizes.
When they’re thrown together for private ski lessons, sparks fly—and so does danger.
As their feelings grow and buried truths surface, the mountain isn’t the only thing threatening to break them.
Enrique must decide if loving Leighann is worth risking everything…
I get snowed in with an irresistible grump.
One warm cabin, mounting tension, and secrets worth billions.
Jackson Hale is cold, guarded, and built like the mountain he hides on. I should keep my distance. But my heart has terrible judgment.
I work nonstop, drowning in my daughter’s medical bills. Hope is a luxury I don’t have.
After the pipes burst in our cabin, his is the only one with heat and a generator.
His rules: temporary and no attachments.
Mine: protect my daughter and resist falling for the man my heart was waiting for.
Between stolen kisses, late-night laughter, and the way my daughter adores him, we shatter every rule we set.
Then I learn the truth…
I get rescued and snowed in with my ex.
Now he’s fixing my lodge and apparently…my heart.
After losing Dad, I take over his lodge.
No staff, zero guests, and a mountain of bills.
Trying to keep his dream alive.
One kitchen fire later, Kyle Coleman shows up in full firefighter glory.
My first heartbreaker. The last person I should ever fall for again.
Now a town hero with a habit of rescuing me
whether I ask or not…and I definitely didn’t.
I’m all business, he’s all heart.
He keeps showing up, fixing my roof, coaching me through the Santa Run.
He smiles like he knows he’s trouble…
Returning home was a dream come true—
until it reignited the flames she thought she’d buried for her best friend’s brother.
Becky Davis knew Finn Sullivan was off-limits the second her high school crush sparked to life.
For years, she smothered her feelings, convinced the embers would fade if she ignored them.
But now they’re both back in Hickory Falls—
and Finn’s a firefighter who still takes her breath away with a single touch.
Keeping him at arm’s length isn’t just impossible—it’s breaking her heart.
And when his protective instincts threaten her career,
Becky must choose:
walk away before she gets burned…
or risk everything for the only man she’s ever truly loved…
